DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist
General notes
DISTRONIC PLUS Steering Assist aids you in
keeping the vehicle in the centre of the driving
lane by means of moderate steering interven-
tions at speeds of 0 - 200 km/h.
DISTRONIC PLUS Steering Assist monitors
the area in front of your vehicle by means of
camera system
:
, at the top of the wind-
screen.
At speeds of more than 60 km/h DISTRONIC
PLUS Steering Assist focuses on lane mark-
ings that are present.
At speeds of 0 - 60 km/h DISTRONIC PLUS
Steering Assist focuses on the vehicle in
front, taking into account lane markings, e.g.
when following vehicles in a traffic jam.
DISTRONIC PLUS must be active in order for
the Steering Assist function to be available.
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style, DIS-
TRONIC PLUS Steering Assist can neither
reduce the risk of an accident nor override the
laws of physics. DISTRONIC PLUS Steering
Assist cannot take into account road,
weather or traffic conditions. DISTRONIC
PLUS Steering Assist is only an aid. You are
responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good
time, and for staying in the lane.
DISTRONIC PLUS Steering Assist does not
detect road and traffic conditions. If you are
following a vehicle which is driving towards
the edge of the carriageway, your vehicle
could come into contact with the curb or
other road boundaries. In the case of devia-
tions in road markings, beware of other road
users, e.g. cyclists, that are directly next to
your vehicle.
Obstacles such as traffic pylons on the lane
or projecting out into the lane are not detec-
ted.
An inappropriate steering intervention, e.g.
after intentionally driving over a lane marking,
can be corrected at any time if you steer
slightly in the opposite direction.
DISTRONIC PLUS Steering Assist cannot con-
tinuously keep your vehicle in lane. In some
cases, the steering intervention is not suffi-
cient to bring the vehicle back to the lane. In
such cases, you must steer the vehicle your-
self to ensure that it does not leave the lane.
The system may be impaired or may not func-
tion if:
R
there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuffi-
cient illumination of the road, or due to
snow, rain, fog or spray
R
there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
the sun or reflection from other vehicles
(e.g. if the road surface is wet)
R
the windscreen is dirty, misted up, dam-
aged or covered, for instance by a sticker,
in the vicinity of the camera
R
no, or several, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, e.g. in a construction
area
R
the lane markings are worn away, dark or
covered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
R
the distance to the vehicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
detected
R
the lane markings change quickly, e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one another or
merge
R
the road is narrow and winding
R
there are highly variable shade conditions
on the road
